He is gonna get PAID lol.

Can’t imagine the league will be happy with the optics of that.

 

Fits perfectly for a potential Finney-Smith deal

 

Bulls gonna Bulls. Spurs gonna Spurs. Gotta love Demar

 

Herb Jones and Keldon Johnson are both intriguing as well. Bobby Portis and Naz Reid are also currently expiring contracts - doubt either will be moved, but the deadline is awhile away.

 

lol under 24 hours for national outlets to pivot to actually what the kings did is bad

they really hate having to write about something other than LeBron or the Celtics

 

I am confused, are we talking about KJ Martin getting paid the max???

 

Not a max. But infinitely more than he’s worth. His bird rights is gonna allow Philly to go over the cap to retain him. Which means Sixers can give him something absurd like 15-20 million on a one year deal and use him as a massive expiring + their 4 first round picks to go get somebody useful

 

It’s unlikely but at least possible that Philly can use his ballooned salary and draft capital to go get Lauri. Or whoever is wanting a fuck ton of picks

 

It’s true. Sam Quinn of CBS Sports only gives positive grades to teams that are huge markets like Minnesota and San Antonio. It’s insidious really.

Rob Dillingham trade grades: Spurs, Timberwolves both win in one of NBA Draft's most unconventional deals

 

Two of the current media darlings of the league, there are levels to small market and this guy is a moron

 

Isn’t the very concept of a small market team being national “media darlings” completely at odds to the worldview of half of this thread?

 

Difference is those fans have a complex and I am a fan of the Sacramento kings lol

 

lol

 

Last time Morey tried to do that the league said “lol, not allowed”

 

Yeah, otherwise, wouldn’t teams be doing that all the time?

 

I’d love to see the to-do list that just earned this check

 

Nice to see Gorgeous George Pappagiannis leading his Greek squad today

 

I believe it's a quirk of the new CBA for teams that are under the first apron - that doesn't leave a lot of them.

And according to KJ's father, this deal is done. However, the Sixers' order-of-operations regarding their signings means it won't get announced just yet.

 

JMac to the kings

come home tyus

 

Yeah, since the new CBA hard caps team at the first apron if they take even $1 less in a trade than they take in, Philly will need a large salary slot if they want to make a trade for someone making 8 figures.

So this extreme paradigm is something new for sure.

 

@dallasc Adonis Arms season continues.

 

The Bahamian national team just missed out on the Olympics, but VJ Edgecomb looked legit playing for them. On a team with seasoned NBA vets, he often looked like the best player out there. He should go pretty high in the draft next year. It’s too bad they lost to Spain today, they have a really fun team.

 

That’s okay - they also were like this about Dame to the bucks

 

You just cant fail with a name like that

 

Really cool.

And...the black jerseys are back?
